Bow Drill Fire with a Busse

Jason Richmond · Jun 26, 2011

I have been enjoying this beautiful morning by practicing my primitive fire building skills. At times I use hollow tube fastened busse handle for the bearing in the bow drill method. I am wondering if anyone has ever wore out one of the fasteners doing this?

Cool...the wood was intimidated by the chopping power of the mistress and decided to light..

Edit: scales made me think BM...

Is that a hell razor? If so you made a wise choice. It's one of my favorites.

Yep, it's a Hell Razor

I would not worry too much about wearing out the tube fastener.

Wood on stainless and micarta will take a life time to wear out.

Not to worry; Busse will be happy to replace the tube rivet under warranty in the unlikely event that you wear it through.
